[Sir Humphrey]

In the ACT there is a minimum of 2 people. From the Act (doesn’t copy and paste well with the numbering in the right place):

If a standard quorum is not present within 1⁄2 an hour after the motion arises for consideration, a reduced quorum for the motion and any subsequent motion considered at the meeting is made up by 2 or more people present at the meeting who are entitled to vote on the motion. 

If a reduced quorum is not present 1⁄2 an hour after the motion arises for consideration, the meeting is adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same place and time. 

If a reduced quorum is present for the consideration of any motion and the motion is voted on, section 3.10 (Notice of reduced quorum decisions and adjournments) applies to the decision on the motion. 

If a reduced quorum is present for the consideration of any motion and the motion is not voted on, the meeting may decide to adjourn to the same day in the next week at the same place and time to consider the motion (and any others remaining to be considered).

If a general meeting is adjourned under this section (including paragraph and a standard quorum is not present within 1⁄2 an hour after a motion arises for consideration at the adjourned meeting—

a reduced quorum is made up by the people who are then present and entitled to vote on the motion and any subsequent motion considered at the adjourned meeting; and

if a reduced quorum is present for the consideration of any motion at the adjourned meeting, and the motion is voted on— the decision on the motion must be notified under section 3.10; and

if the motion (or any other) is not voted on at the adjourned meeting—the adjourned meeting may resolve to adjourn again to the same day in the next week at the same place and time to consider the resolution (and any others remaining to be considered at the meeting). 

If a decision (a reduced quorum decision) is made on a motion while a reduced quorum was present for the consideration of the motion, within 7 days after the meeting the owners corporation must give each person mentioned in section 3.6 (1) (Notice of general meetings) written notice of the reduced quorum decision.

Note If a form is approved under s 146 for a notice, the form must be used.

Within 4 days after a general meeting is adjourned under section3.9, the owners corporation must give each person mentioned in section 3.6 (1) a written notice of the date, place and time to which the meeting is adjourned.

Reduced quorum decisions—effect

A reduced quorum decision takes effect 28 days after the decision was made, subject to this section.

Subsection (1) does not apply if the owners corporation fails to give notice of the reduced quorum decision under section 3.10 (1).

A reduced quorum decision is disallowed if, within 28 days after the decision was made, the owners corporation is given a petition requiring that the decision be disallowed signed by a majority of people entitled to vote on the relevant motion at the time of signing (whether or not they were present or entitled to vote on the motion at the general meeting at which the decision was made).

If, within 28 days after a reduced quorum decision is made, a motion is passed confirming the reduced quorum decision while a standard quorum is present at a general meeting for consideration of the confirmation motion, the reduced quorum decision takes effect on confirmation, whether or not a petition under subsection (3) is at any time given to the owners corporation. 

This section does not prevent a reduced quorum decision from being revoked at a general meeting, whether a standard quorum or reduced quorum is present while the revocation motion is being considered.
